Sherwin Williams

Serenely

SW 9632

Serenely (SW, hex #CED7D5) is a light, muted teal with gray undertones, measured at an LRV of 66. The gray component reduces the teal saturation, producing a color that reads as a cool, slightly green-blue neutral rather than a vivid teal. Its high-mid reflectance level makes it functional across a range of room sizes and lighting conditions.

Sherwin-Williams companions include Misty, Naval, Charcoal Blue, Softened Green, and Sea Salt, accommodating both monochromatic and contrast-driven schemes.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
